My son is a submariner currently assigned to a boat VERY far away from home. He had PIR in May 2012 and then attended submarine school and A-school in Groton, CT. before he joined the fleet as a Torpedo Mate. So proud of him!
I am here to support my

Be patient and supportive. Things change frequently with the Navy and it's difficult to make plans. But, above all, my goal is to support my son and his choice to serve his country in the world's greatest Navy!
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.
Hey Ann-Marie, I currently live in St. Louis but my sailor is in Groton, his PIR was last
Friday 6/1. For the first time since he left for boot camp I finally got a call that he was upbeat. I hope he can make the most of it because he signed for 5 years. I still have family in Lowell and Andover. I will be making a trip up there for my parents 60th in Oct. but now that my sailor is in Groton I may have to make a visit sooner than I thought. Tks for the offer to bring something to him and if need be I will take you up on it. Getting together sounds good too, I will let you know if I make it this summer. You are very lucky you live so close. Keep in touch.
